Presenting the winners of the ASP Anniversary Contest!
(Honorable mentions here.)

The Winners!

Fourth Place
“Variations on a Magician’s Fate” by Ben S.
Comics based on The Magician
He drew some extensions of the “Magician” comic that turned out pretty great, especially the Mayan getting his mind blown and the terror nightmare rabbit.

Third Place
“Broken Arm” by Jenny S.
Video based on this comic.
She and her friends made a shot-for-shot remake of “Broken Arm,” and considering the degree of faithfulness we’re going assume that the lead actor actually broke his arm for the part.

Second Place
“Skip’s Tribulation” by Chad J.
Short story based on the “The Movies” series.
A short story inspired by the “Movies” set of comics, and it was such a morbid interpretation of Skip’s psyche that we thought we should at least try to cheer Chad up by giving him a book.

First Place
“Conscience” by Jörg P. and Fabian S.
Song Inspired by this comic.
They wrote and composed a song inspired by the comic “conscience.” It’s one of the first times ASP has been translated to music, and it came out pretty dark and occasionally off-key. Perfect!

Great work, everyone, we really appreciate the time everyone took in entering! You are all the coolest.

by Wes + Tony on October 5, 2011 at 7:00 am

Here are the honorable mentions! This list is composed of entries that had a special flair that deserve recognition for their distinct effort or weirdness. We’ll be posting the prize winners on Friday!

Honorable Mentions:

Best Use of Real Horse
“A Real Horse Walks into a Bar” by Nufy S.
Comic Based on “A Horse Walks into a Bar”
We were pretty excited at first when we thought it was the horse who entered the contest.

Most Obsessive
“Five Word Summaries” by Robbie A.
Writeups on Every Comic
As a followup to his previous entry, he wrote another couple hundred summaries of the comics that show that we are wasting our time with extra words and pictures.

Best Hidden Comic
“I’m Flying” by Homeless Heroes
Expanded on “I’m Flying”
Excellently drawn rendition of a comic, with a couple good twists, especially the hidden comic addition.  

Most Flattering
ASP-Style Comics by J.D.
They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but outside of a contest it’s a lawsuit.



Most Participant
Haiku by Bill J.
Poem based on “Heredity”
Way to put your back into it, Bill.

Goldfish in a bowl,
He has just realised it,
He is now his dad.

Thanks for your time and hard work in entering the contest, everyone! We really appreciate it. Stay tuned Friday for the winners!
